Blackmarket potato plan rocked by board action
A plan to blackmarket Victorian potatoes on four vast acres was thwarted by the New South Wales Potato Marketing Board. Victorian speculators with six figure capital aimed to profit by buying from growers at farm prices while selling in New South Wales at higher rates. The plan unraveled as authorities seized details and growers resisted. Prices and shipments became uncertain amid border restrictions and demurrage fears. News from Sydney notes buyers offering high prices to lure growers, with the market volatile and shipping constrained.
